  1. Remove the cox.net account after initial set-up.
  2. Add the cox.net account back selecting "Show More" 
  3. "Show More" allows you to set the server settings
    I also could not find a way to change the server settings after the initial set-up.
    Remove then Add back using "Show More"

    bryanibphx,

      I'm running Windows 10 on a PC, the add/delete function looks a bit different than in your post.  However, changing the POP or IMAP server settings (manually or otherwise) to the posted instructions on Yahoo (pop.mail.yahoo.com/imap.mail.yahoo.com),, port etc.   I get the same message of unable to connect to incoming server.  As stated before, I believe it is an extension issue with yahoo.com and cox.net addresses.

      The screenshot is from Outlook for Windows, not Outlook in an Office suite.
